The Ukraine Crisis Part 1 The initial Battles

Probably had too much to eat whilst the rest of the population struggle for food and Ukrainians die for his zealous claim over their country

 

An interesting picture a friend sent to me by a fellow tread head .

Its a captured Russian tank .

The significance is that it is a T90 of which this this their newest tank in service having just over 600 examples which is quite small in Russian terms . Also it has markings as seen on the right hand side of the turret depicting a Guards Tank Regiment .

That is evidence to me that the Russians have now committed some of their elite units to this conflict ,which is another indication that this is proving far tougher than the Kremlin had estimated .

Despite what Putin claims ,militarily this is not on track by a long way. Day 20 now of what was seen as a quick 48 hours campaign .



Pictured below is what a T90 normally looks like before it received damage

 

Vladimir Putin looks bloated, because for some reason, he's being treated with Steroids.

 

Someone was willing to risk life and limb to send a message to the Russian people

Editor interrupts Russian State TV channel 1 news show with anti-war protest

 

The UK has just announced it is banning the export of Luxury Goods to Russia and Levying a 35% tariff on goods imported from Russia .

That will effect things like the cost of my Favourite Russian Vodka

 

The latest Intelligence bulletin from the UK

It looks like the Russians are trying to make Kherson a separate Republic in an attempt to legitimise the war.

Nothing mentioned of the military campaign confirming despite the bombings that this has stagnated .

 

In New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu ordered the removal of all Russian vodka at the state-run liquor stores..

On a positive note, National Vodka Day in United States isn't until October 4th

 

The woman who held up sign the editor of the news channel has one parent who is Ukrainian While one parent is Russian and said her parents were never enemies.

 

It was just reported on CNN that the police had immediately arrested her, and they have formally said are planning to sentence her to the maximum penalty (15 yrs).

Brave lady, but will never be heard of again. Damn shame. Her name should be written alongside Zelensky and others in the future.

Back to military matters .

I'm hearing conflicting views on this regarding the capital . Some sources say the Ukrainians are holding steadfastly against the Russians in the suburbs . Other sources state are inching forward and soon their medium, range artillery will be in artillery range to start pummelling the city into submission . Those Mig fighters could have made the difference here as these artillery pieces would need protecting and would hamper their deployment .

A typical Russian 152 mm Howitzer

 

Re: The lady who 'crashed' the state tv broadcast. It was just reported by the CNN guy in Moscow, that the Russians are now considering 'lesser' charges against her, than the 'full-magilla' of 15 yrs. With the idea to just get this off the western news reports. And one of the state tv Channel 3 anchors has resigned and left the country.

 

With so many males in the world there will always be war as a male is the aggressor And with the testosterone that a male is dealt at an early age it’s a wonder … which if the women want a ponder this for a moment you’re giving a small dose at menopause imagine being a dealt a full hand of that at adolescence and how you would sort and control your own self in a situation of war..
I am very relieved to hear that this woman may be pardoned
A small remedy to possibly stop the war is to just within your immediate homes if you are married pull your partner a little closer and let them know how much you love them and appreciate them another suggestion in a different thread was plant a tree let all your family members know how much you love them and love them unconditionally… this does help any war that you are seeing out there believe it or not restoration comes in small steps
Women should actually stay out of the war room if you want my honest opinion …just dropped in to share a fortune cookie and a glass of water for the troops

 

Hmmmmm Budica ,Catherine the Great ,Mary Queen of Scots,Cleopatra ....................
I could even throw in PM Margaret Thatcher in re the Falklands . See Picture below
Mainly men but not all are



Sorry Vlad for the above picture

 

I read that some 90% of all murders, ever, have been committed by men. Let's stop to think about that. Suppose the same statistic were noted about [insert racial demographic], you can bet there would be some serious consideration of the fact. As it stands, no, there isn't any 1 race that has claim to the act of murder but there is certainly 1 gender.

That said, I think there's a lot of substance to the idea that men are overwhelmingly responsible for war throughout history. But for that reason I think women should be in the war room whenever possible. Something about cooler heads prevailing... Like maybe if Putin's generals were women they'd be smart enough to figure out that this is a tactical defeat even if they claim territory. It should be obvious to any military strategist that this became a pyrrhic war sometime after the 1st disastrous week.

 

I being a woman have many accomplishments done on my own which placed me in a position of authority and also many rewards I delight in who I am ...and I understand completely the importance of women on the earth ..
I was merely pointing out that I have seen teens handle situations better than a seasoned woman going through menopause ..like a maniac on steroids...and it’s like calm down calm down

as I mentioned a few days ago Putin wanting his Ukraine lover back ...and the lady with the sign on the news with the same message of having two parents one from Ukraine one from Russia and they were never enemies ..which is not what the war is entirely about of many details

also the message is false held up as there is enough room to put everyone prison or concentration camps which is worth fighting from happening..everyone deserves the right to freedom

 

I agree with you zero as even the brain of the man and woman differ ...with the cord in the middle of the brain that gives information from a to b at a quicker rate that is why a woman is able to carry on multiple conversations at once while a male more so has more of a one track mind and though they can consider all aspects of a situation just not as quickly as a woman can ...
With that being said a decision made in haste is not always the best solution ...so that is why both work together very well ...the male should always be given final decision.

 

A few pictures of Brave Ukrainian female fighters who fight alongside their male colleagues in this conflict.

These ladies are not to be messed with

speaking of multitasking I was driving while I posted the first comment at 9:55 AM

 

I told you, Cap, the other night that we in the US don't get Sky News. Well, I found out last night from 1-3 am (my CDT time 7-9 your UK time) that MSNBC goes to Sky News for two hours.

I don't think you get, on your cable systems, MSNBC as well as CNN. If so, however, I highly recommend from 10-12pm (your time) Nicole Wallace. Not only is she a classicly 'plain and pretty' woman, but well-spoken and chooses her words and contributors carefully. From 12-1am (your time) is Ari Melber, a thoughtful-before-he-speaks male version.

Ok, my 2 cents worth.

 

wyld, this not meant as criticism, so please don't take it that way. But sometimes I lose track of the several multiple threads you have packed into one post.

By explanation: "...speaking of multitasking I was driving while I posted the first comment..."

Well, friend, that was pretty obvious. Again, not criticism, just a note.
